Another 6 weeks of winter and another chance for snowfall, yet spring is coming. For those who have watched Game of Thrones, a familiar phrase is “winter is coming”. It means be prepared for the bitter cold winds and snowy roads. Be prepared for upcoming conflict and harsh realities. Yet, with winter already here, we should prepare for spring to come.
How do we prepare for spring? Preparing for spring is preparing for hope. A break in the cycle of cold winter days. When things look their worst spring comes to renew us and our spirits. Renew your hope because spring is coming. Plants start to sprout from the ground. Empty branches are replaced with leaves and singing birds. Death is overcome through Jesus who rose on the third day.
I encourage all to walk outside when we hit 60 degrees. Bathe in the light and warm air. Prepare for spring. Prepare for Lent. Prepare for the resurrection. Reflect, pray, and praise. Amen.
